Papa Knoth's "Revelations" Root Vegetable Hash
A hearty, earthy breakfast hash, made with a medley of root vegetables and crisp bacon, promising a substantial start to a long day. The dark, caramelized vegetables hint at hidden depths of flavor.
Directions
- 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving rendered fat in the skillet. Set bacon aside.
- 2
Add olive oil to the skillet with the bacon fat (if needed, add more olive oil to ensure about 2 tablespoons of fat). Heat over medium-high heat.
- 3
Add the diced Russet potato, sweet potato, and parsnip to the hot skillet. Spread in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, until a golden-brown crust forms on the bottom.
- 4
Stir the vegetables and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
- 5
Add the diced yellow onion, dried rosemary, and garlic powder to the skillet. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and the vegetables are tender throughout.
- 6
Stir in the reserved crisp bacon. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

For an extra touch, you can fry or poach two eggs to serve on top of each portion of hash.

Serve hot for a comforting and robust meal.
